Will Angela Venditti, the reigning Miss Michigan, be this
year's Miss America?

Find out on Saturday, when ABC presents the live broadcast of
the Miss America pageant starting at 9 p.m. MLive and the Muskegon
Chronicle will also live blog the event, which runs until 11 p.m.

This year's event will take place at the Planet Hollywood
Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, Nev., and will feature 53 contestants from
around the country, as well as the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the
U.S. Virgin Islands.

The network is also airing a special episode of "20/20" that
will give a behind-the-scenes look at the competition, which began in 1921.
That show starts at 8 p.m.

Because of her busy schedule this week – which includes the
competition's preliminary rounds, appearances and rehearsals – Venditti was
unable to speak with MLive and the Muskegon Chronicle.

She's been working out, applying for the competition's
scholarship awards and practicing her talent routine, a tap dance to "Dirty
Orchestra" by the group Black Violin. She described the song as a "hip-hop
violin piece" without words.
